If you decide that you don&#8217;t want to write the replacement exam, your &#8220;MED&#8221; notation stays on your record but is not calculated in the grade point average. You forfeit the chance to write the missed exam and you must repeat the course if it is a requirement of your degree.</font><p>
				<font face="Verdana" size="2">Students who were prevented from writing the replacement examination due to extraordinary circumstances will be able to apply to the University Examinations Committee. You would be required to provide documentary evidence in support of your request and you have to submit a second &#8220;Request for a &#8220;MED&#8221; notation&#8221; application form along with the fee. Please refer to the deadlines mentioned above.
